VoiceThreads - Stumbling on Inspiration

Sometimes I stumble upon interesting sites on the Web, and I have to thank my virtual lucky stars for this one - a Ning about VoiceThread for Educators: http://voicethread.ning.com/. It looks like a great place to begin collaborating with other teachers about using VoiceThread in the classroom.

I was very impressed by the Colour Poems on this VoiceThread: http://voicethread.com/#u86913.b184115.i1026128. The photographs are lovely, and the children's voices are just delightful. I would show this to students as a starting point to write our own colour poems, or as an example of what can be done with VoiceThread.

In closing, I thought I was in love with wikis for classroom collaboration, but I'm finding VoiceThread incredibly inspiring. It is definitely my new favourite Web 2.0 tool (no offence, wiki, I still really, really like you!)

About this blog

Welcome to Tea for [Web] 2.0! This blog will be my virtual learning log while I journey through the EDES 501 course, "Exploring Web 2.0 Tools for Schools and Libraries", and EDES 545 - "Information Tech for Learning" offered through the University of Alberta. And yes, there will be pots and pots of tea consumed during these months of learning!
